Enjoy the bounty of the Northern Rivers
As the hot summer fades away and we head into a cooler time of year on the Northern Rivers, it is a great opportunity to get out and enjoy the many exciting events, trails, food and drinks that are on offer throughout the region.
It’s been tough on many families, businesses and individuals as higher interest rates have bitten, and cost-of-living has gone up – I’ve certainly balked at the checkout a few times. However, supporting local businesses, even a little bit, is something we can all do as we move into autumn. By supporting local businesses, producers, and events you can help keep everyone going in a positive direction as well as having a good time, some new experiences, and a laugh along the way.
From getting a good pub meal with the family – that has space for the kids – and a little entertainment, to relaxing with some friends at a local brewery, whether you are a local or visiting, there are lots of options to investigate. These are venues that create positive environments, good businesses that employ locals and who create community through supporting local producers, creatives and entertainers. That’s what creates community, interaction, engagement and a little fun and positivity. It is why so many people have moved to the region.
With the cooler weather it is also a great time to get out of doors and enjoy events like the Harvest Food Trail, Caper or head to the beach and pick up some great Indigenous-inspired food from the Aunties Cafe. These events and venues are set to showcase the great produce and innovative approach taken to food throughout the region. With the family or visitors in tow, you can really show-off what this region is all about as great food, fun music and an engaging community come into their own for everyone to enjoy.
You can enjoy everything from high-end dining to family-friendly food and venues, you can get Indigenous-influenced food to entertainment with your meal – there are a wonderful range of options from beach to hinterland. There is no end to the creative ways to experience the Northern Rivers, so check out these pages and get out and enjoy the diversity of experiences on offer.
